In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

El tráfico de las 5:00 es habitualmente una pesadilla.
The traffic at 5:00 is usually a nightmare.
women like that make me sick, and account for the stereotype. annoys the crap out of me. I counsel against that type of behavior every chance I get, and rest assured I will go into it with xsteen when the time is appropriate.
that’s pretty funny!
Halbig decision is out.
“the ACA unambiguously restricts...subsidy to insurance purchased on Exchanges ‘established by the State.’”
Please pardon my cunctation at posting a response to the WFTD.
Could we say that Obama’s cunctation at enforcing the law and securing the border is putting the entire nation in danger?
On our way to and from the college tour yesterday, we noticed el tráfico era una pesadilla. Fortunately, we were going the other way each time. ;)
I think you grossed us out too.
Looks like Roberts will have to rewrite the statute from the bench again next year.
Para mí, quesadillas causan pesadillas.
Gotta vote today in the runoff elections here in GA.
Blah ..... The good conservative candidates picked up mostly third place results because the conservative votes were split among several different candidate, and the establish-repubbies set up only one per race.
We will be sentenced to a cunctation mark surrounded by clauses and pauses ....
That was mean but funny!
That is an entrance that will be remembered for awhile!
That thread was funny - but I’m thinking that marriage had a few more issues than just her turning him down or being disgustingly dirty
And he’s a jerk for creating the spreadsheet and she’s as bad or worse for publishing it where everyone could see it.
I thought he published it? But yes you are right - they both are messed up
We’re having computer problems here. Something highjacked my new tab page to bing with loud ads but I changed it back and now the spouse’s computer is playing ads with everything on it closed, no windows open, even playing while it is supposedly hibernating. What is going on?
I wonder if anyone has on their menu a pesadilla quesadilla?
Runoffs are almost as stupid as open primaries.
You know what is really stupid? Run off primaries that are open.
Whistling past the graveyard
Of every issue that arises
Obama’s minions perpetuate
Cunctation and bad surprises
Obama was out playing golf
And he couldn’t even smell
Anything from Israel or Russia
As both places went to hell
They claim he knows nothing-
So much less than you or me
Till he is done playing golf
And watches some news on TV...
La frontera es una pesadilla...
